I absolutely love learning Hindi with Zabaan and my fabulous tutor, Riya. I have spent an hour online with her each week for over a year now and in this time I have learned the Devanagari script, I am able to read quite well, I have moved through the grammar and vocab of the text books and we are now having little conversations each week. I love the one on one lessons as I get to ask heaps of questions and we move at a pace personalised to my progress. I highly recommend learning a language with Zabaan. I look forward to class every week!

Zabaan is a world-class language school providing highly professional training for a range of aptitudes and needs. For many years I struggled to find a school with a systematic approach to pedagogy and proven results for learning Hindi. Through my studies with Zabaan I have made steady progress in comprehension, speaking, reading and writing. Working with its instructors have given me the tools and confidence to build my skills systematically over time. I am grateful to have found them and can highly recommend Zabaan to anyone!

I have been a student at Zabaan for nearly 8 months. Going through a number of their programs has been a fantastic experience and has greatly improved my Hindi. I also must commend their competency demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They have rather effortlessly moved their teaching online in a way which maintains the quality of their education. I have mostly worked with Rachayta while at Zabaan. She has a brilliant ability to recognize common errors I make and identify the appropriate grammatical rules to help me learn from those mistakes. Trained as a linguist, I am also always appreciative of her ability to deconstruct any word and explicate its etymology. This skill makes learning both interesting and clarifying, allowing myself to draw useful connections. Rachayta's sharp ears for pronunciation also enable me to not only be able to understand Hindi, but to be understood when speaking! Zabaan as a whole is a fantastic institution. I am eager to rejoin them in person when possible and am confident that their continued efforts have greatly improved my Hindi. Thanks Zabaan and team, and I highly recommend for all those interested in learning languages!
